Gateway not sending gzip data compression back to the client
Problem
After the gateway receives a compressed payload in response from backend service it decompresses the content and sends it in decompressed format back to client/end user.
Both the interface and the remote host set encoding to "gzip,deflate" in their advanced options.
Resolution
Gateway needs the following to be set for the gzip/deflate encoding to work back to a client:
1. On the HTTP/S interface set the input and output encodings to gzip & deflate.
2. Client MUST sent the "Accept-Encoding" header set to value "gzip,deflate".
Gateway cannot assume the client is able to receive compressed payload without "Accept-Encoding"
